Hair thinning/loss associated with burning scalp pain. Finasteride helped relieve "DHT itch" for one person.
community The mechanism of androgenic alopecia
DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.
community Bloodwork reports just came in
A 21-year-old male suffering from male pattern baldness is using topical finasteride and minoxidil, and oral minoxidil. His bloodwork shows normal DHT levels and slightly high testosterone, leading to discussions about the role of DHT sensitivity in hair loss, the potential impact of finasteride on his DHT levels, and the suggestion to proceed with oral finasteride due to his high testosterone.
community Minoxidil’s mechanism of action on blood pressure as a potassium channel opening molecule
Minoxidil works by opening potassium channels, leading to reduced blood pressure and potential side effects like reflex tachycardia. It is used for hair growth and affects blood pressure at high doses.
community Minoxidil and Caffeine - opposite effects yet comboed together?
Minoxidil and caffeine are discussed for hair loss treatment. The user questions the logic of combining them due to their opposing effects on adenosine receptors.
